Situated on a S facing headland 110m long by 45m wide along the southern shores of Duvillaun. The headland lies 3 miles southwest of the Mullet. The area in which the site lies is one of coarse grazing with traces of lazybeds visible all over the island. A straight wall, now collapsed and grassed over runs across the neck of the headland. It is several meters wide and 45m long. Outcropping rock is visible in the interior. This site was seen from the air and was not visited on the ground. It is not marked on any of the OS maps, and was not noted by previous writers.
These descriptions are derived from the MA thesis of Markus Casey 1999 The coastal promontory forts of Ireland. A survey of counties Sligo, Mayo, Galway and Clare. Unpublished MA thesis, National University of Ireland, Galway.
